Sonny Curtis too? Should be a great show.
Doesn't Sonny play with the pedal's down and using a lift instead of a mash?
Count me in on being there Evelyn. Just give me a quick reminder as age has done a little to my old brain.

I'd just like to say "thanks" to L.T. and Evelyn for inviting me and Barbara to Grand Rapids again this year. This is a great show, to say the least, and I'm again priveleged to be doing the keyboard work for the show this year. Great steel guitarist, great musicians to work with in the staff band, friends, it doesn't get any better than that. Looking forward to seeing all our friends again and to any of you that we haven't met, you will be welcome additions to our family of friends.

Well I just wanted to say that I also am looking forward to this great show again. It is always a treat getting to come back to Grand Rapids. I also want to thank LT and Evelyn for bringing this great backup band which always puts the icing on the cake for the steel players, so we can play the tunes we want to play and don't have to make excuses. Also, I can't say how pleased I am to hear that Alex Depue will be back. Alex played on my last album and is one of the "Finest" violin/fiddle players I have ever worked with. Believe me, it is worth the addmission price of the show just to hear him. I think he also played on a new project with Frank Rogers and it just blew me away. Anyhow, I'll shut up for now, but this is a show you won't want to miss.

Herby just said it all folks. Great show in the making. Gets better every year!
Herby, our session we did together a few years ago is now being converted to CD. Hope to have them at the show. Will be great to see and hear you and all those other great artists play and perform. I will be there to get my annual "shot" of steel lessons from all of you guys.
And, thanks for the invitation L.T. and Evelyn.

Add Drew Howard to the Friday night show lineup.
Now we can all hear how one gets to do a great tire commercial.
He'll be bringing some fine musicians with him. Drew, thanks buddy, for allowing us to book you at this late date.

It is with great regret, that I must tell you that Alex Depue, the fiddler for Chris Cagel will NOT be able to make our show in Grand Rapids this year.
He is on the road.
But, we do have some exciting surprises you are not going to want to miss.
BE THERE!!!! [This message was edited by Evelyn Whitney on 03 March 2003 at 03:48 PM.] |

Last I knew Alex is fiddlin with Chris Cagle.
Gary Morse is Steelin with Dwight.
I suspect there's some confusion here.
Who's not able to make it? |
